Gateway GT150 F1 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general.
